You may want to take a look at Mercalli. It works very well for shaky footage. There are are number of presets that work well for most situations. They have a free trial download.

You can also try the de-shaker Vegas Pro script.

New Deshaker for Sony Vegas (http://homepage.ntlworld.com/a.edmiston/deshaker.htm)

Also, if the footage is just scenic shots, try a little slow motion to steady it.

Thx a lot my friend...
I don't know if u ever took footage from the helicopter...it's very hard if u don't have gyros on board; so i'm tyieng to achieve acceptable results in post on those shots that could be greater with a plugin like that!
Thx a lot
